Letter: We need leadership

Everyone knows what's at stake, especially if you are in tune to what's happening at home and abroad!

The president and Congress haven't done much in almost four years, so what's the verdict?

We need to be self-sufficient with our natural resources and not depend on countries that don't respect us. Our military should be paid by foreign countries who need help. If they don't pay, we don't commit.

Why borrow more money from China when we owe so much now? I watched the prime minister of Israel, Ben Netanyahu, give a speech about the Mideast. He sounded tough and resolute to keep Israel a nation.

We need leaders in our country who are determined, steady, persistent and purposeful for our future. We don't need a wishy-washy individual like President Barack Obama, who is wimpy, ineffective, indecisive and weak — but a smooth talker, I'll give him that.
